Thicker liner question

Post by JAGMAN »

I have stripped my first stiletto and have a question about thicker liners, What is the best way to extend the blade locking pin to allow for the thicker liners, I have searched Knife 101 with out any luck, hopefully one of you guys will be able to give me the lowdown.
thanks, Jagman.
right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think
I've forgotten this before.

Jagman,

There's a topic called Stiletto Project by Nemo on that site. Did you see it? I'm pretty sure he went for thicker liners in revamping a stiletto. I believe a new pin would be required if you use the old bolsters.

Most of the pins are sufficiently long enough to use with thicker liners. You can help a little by grinding a thinner spot where the pin goes through the liners.

TR, I was all over the switblade 101 3 part series, Nemo mentioned he was going to do a sidebar for the thicker liners - how to compensate - but I dont think it materialized, Once again though Mr. Bill has the solution, ingeniously simple and just what I needed to know.

mr jagman - i did a picklock with nemo's stiletto project on knife101
and i used 1/16" liners and a standard button mechanism without any problems or adjustments, maybe i got lucky!
i got lots of help and good advice from both nemo and mr deshivs. 8)

extending blade pin

Post by Merlin »

lay the point of the pin on the edge of your vice and give it a couple of good whacks with the ball peen and then re-shape the pointy end and it will be perfect.

Good tip there Merlin, thanks. I will do that as the tip is messed a little anyway.
